Color semi-glossy 8 x 10 photo of the Gemini 7 capsule as viewed by the Gemini 6 spacecraft during their historic first crewed rendezvous, a maneuver that brought the two crafts within one foot of each other, signed in black felt tip by Wally Schirra, and in blue felt tip by Tom Stafford. In very fine condition.
From NASA's 1968 Exploring Space with a Camera (p.165): 'Astronaut Thomas P. Stafford remembers: 'The ability to take this photo was very gratifying after the numerous delays we encountered...we finally achieved the key step that [would] lead us to the lunar-landing...The sight was utterly fantastic to fly in close formation as we have done for many years in fighter aircraft, [but] at 17,000 miles an hour.''
